From a 'cloud', you can run software applications over the internet without
needing to buy, install, or manage your own servers. The resources are
retrieved online through web-based tools and applications rather than a
direct connection to a server. This type of system allows people to work
remotely.

Well known companies, like Dropbox and GE.tt, have adopted this technology
to deliver services. They make it easy to keep local synchronised copies of
files on multiple devices while maintaining a copy in the 'cloud'. Perhaps
the most famous users of could computing are social media websites
including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

The fundamental functionality of cloud computing means that entrepreneurs
can focus on their businesses rather than on their software. All they need
is a browser. How awesome is that?
